“Get over him. He’s not even worth it. He is not worth your time or your tears. Yeah, you loved him. I know that. And I know you just can’t see yourself with anyone other than him. I get that. I’ve been there. But why should you spend all your time sitting at home, bawling your eyes out and wondering where he is and who he is with? Do you honestly think he is thinking about you? No. Sure, it hurts – the fact that he is out there falling in and out of love with other girls. Yeah, you’re going to see him with one of his new girlfriends. Prepare yourself because straight up: it’s gonna hurt. He will hold her a little closer and squeeze her hand a little tighter just because he knows you’re watching. He knows it’s killing you and that’s why he will do it. Don’t let him get to you because that… well, that’s exactly what he wants. Don’t give him what he wants. He doesn’t even deserve it. So what if he doesn’t talk to you? Do you honestly want to be friends with an asshole like him anyway? Thing is, I know you still do. But give it time. Because all he would do is talk about his new girlfriend and just try and make you jealous. And, really, do you want to hear that? No. So screw him and his girlfriend. He will be sorry. Trust me. When he finally sees you with some other guy who’s not him with that huge grin on your face and your boyfriend holding you close, he will realize how happy you are now and how happy your boyfriend is because he has you. The girl of his dreams. He will realize the huge mistake he made when he let you go, when he decided to choose her over you, when he decided he just did not love you the same. Trust me, he will be sorry. So don’t go on spending your nights waiting for that one phone call you know you’ll never get. Or that IM you know he will never send you simply because he likes to ignore you. He likes to pretend he doesn’t see you online, and he does it out of spite just because he knows it’s killing you. When he walks past you in the hallways, he is going to look past you, but you need to know he only does that because he knows, somewhere inside you, it hurts. I’m not going to lie to you. It will hurt. It will hurt a lot. But it will hurt even more when you see her name and how much he loves her in his profile. It’s all going to hurt. Knowing you’re not the girl that’s making him smile. Knowing you’re not the first person he thinks of when he wakes up and the last before he goes to sleep. Knowing you’re not the face on his wallpaper. Knowing you won’t be spending every single moment possible with him. Knowing there’s not going to be anymore late night phone calls arguing about who loves who the most. And you know what? Today, tomorrow, next week, or maybe months from now, your phone will go off with a text message. You will instantly grab your phone, hoping it’s him saying he wants to give your relationship another shot. But trust me. He’s got too much pride. Even if he wanted to get back together with you, he wouldn’t tell you. You’re soon going to realize he doesn’t care about you anymore and he won’t be the first person you think of calling when you’re upset. He won’t be the one to put that smile back on your face. And, yeah, it’s going to hurt. It’s going to hurt a lot. But you know what you’re going to do? You’re going to hold your head up. You’re going to show him you’re better off without him and you don’t need him in your life. You’re going to prove to him that he made the biggest mistake of his life by letting you go and that you never really needed him anyway.”
"It doesn’t make sense to let go of something you have wanted for so long. But it also doesn’t make sense to hold on when there's nothing there."
Existence
Have you ever felt that feeling of being so alone even when you’re in a room full of people? That’s exactly how she feels. It’s like her presence never fails to go unnoticed. She manages to go through the day with the same routine. Say hi. Say bye. Walk in. Walk out. It’s become so mundane for her. She stays to stay sane because she knows that they are her only hope of being saved from going under. But even when she’s made the choice to stick around, it’s as if she’s not even there. As time goes by, people really do change no matter how much you knew them – no matter how much you thought you knew them. And time? It doesn’t stop for anybody. They were once her support. Her source of happiness. But now? She walks around like a ghost with no sense of purpose to her everyday life. She goes home and drowns herself in sleep. And when she wakes up it’s the whole cycle all over again. Sometimes she thinks to herself “what if?” What if she leaves and walks away? Isolate herself. Maybe, eventually, someone will notice she’s gone and go looking for her. Maybe someday someone will realize her existence.
"I don’t think you should worry too much. Friends don’t usually leave and if they do then they aren’t worth it."
"Congratulations, you fooled me."
It’s okay, Dear.
I love you still. People might’ve fooled you but, even after all that’s happened, youre still standing. Honey, you’re staying strong. You’re fighting. And, for that, I’m proud of you. But when you can’t take it anymore, know I’m here to be strong for you. I’m here to take your burdens off your shoulders and carry them for you. To take your pain and make them mine. I will be your pillar of strength. Your solace. I will be your hope. x
“It’s so hard to forget pain, but it’s even harder to remember sweetness. We have no scar to show for happiness. We learn so little from peace.”
“My friends, if we tend to the things that are important in life, if we are right with those we love and behave in line with our faith, our lives will not be cursed with the aching throb of unfulfilled business. Our words will always be sincere, our embraces will be tight. We will never wallow in the agony of ‘I could have, I should have.’ We can sleep in a storm.”
"Love and relationships are never like the movies no matter how much we want them to be. But when something beautiful ends, for whatever reason, it’s most important not to be disappointed that it’s over, but glad that it happened at all."
— AJ Rafael
"I've always appreciated friends who would rather stay one step behind to catch you when you stumble and fall. It’s like they let you do whatever you want with your life, make your own mistakes but, when everything falls apart, they’re there to help you pick up the pieces."

“Don’t throw yourself out on another’s whim. People change, as do intentions and as a result, consequences. Live for yourself. Love those around you, but realize that they’ve got their own agendas.”
"People think a soul mate is your perfect fit, and that’s what everyone wants. But a true soul mate is a mirror, the person who shows you everything that is holding you back, the person who brings you to your own attention so you can change your life. A true soul mate is probably the most important person you’ll ever meet, because they tear down your walls and smack you awake. But to live with a soul mate forever? Nah. Too painful. Soul mates, they come into your life just to reveal another layer of yourself to you, and then leave. A soul mates purpose is to shake you up, tear apart your ego a little bit, show you your obstacles and addictions, break your heart open so new light can get in, make you so desperate and out of control that you have to transform your life."
“Loving is taking the risk of being hurt.”
